subarucraig Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 looking good mate take it thats you sorted now no more to do
rig-pig Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 time for an update its been a long time STi seats and wheels sold so back in standard alloys had enough of the standard stereo so ordered a new head unit, a cubby hole for under it and some door speaker pods, just to order some speakers next. cold air feed and HKS fitted the cold air induction kit with HKS filter today
rig-pig Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 another wee add on i picked up from Andy at RA, just a new turbo to get then fit a new clutch before fitting them and a re-map just a wee bit more shopping today a nice VF35 to go with the pinks, turbo now re-sold changed my mind got the eibach camber bolts today thought i better try the Pro-R filter (pipercross) 3 layer of foam just what you want to help your MAF and some new gaskets for when i remove the headers for porting and heat wrapping did a wee bit today, fitted a stainless radiator cooling plate, with the cold air feed from behind the fog lamp it has now been removed and i made, painted and fitted a grille, thought i better fit the Pro-R air filter since its a 5 min job, thats the voltage stabiliser and grounding kit fitted Radiator plate fitted cold air feed grille Pro-R filter voltage stabiliser and grounding kit fitted (stabiliser at side of battery)
rig-pig Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Pro-R filter feels a lot better than the green, got the Whiteline ARB's fitted today along with new solid drop links, car feels like a go cart now wish i had done then to start with got the headers off today time for some porting (pics in a few days of the porting) some light porting today, i took a lot of casting off from the inside which will give better faster exhaust gas flow, smoothed and widened out the openings to the cast manifolds put some wrap on the centre link pipe stuck the manifolds back on Edited February 15, 2012 by rig-pig
rig-pig Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) got the headers back on this morning after picking up new gaskets the postman dropped a set of header tank mounts to stop the heat soak into the manifold, so made a start and thought fek it i will clean up the rust spots on the header tank header tank still in the garage getting painted away to head out the now to give it another coat more pics to follow Edited February 15, 2012 by rig-pig
rig-pig Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) ok guys this is where i am just now sorry for the pic mash-up i had to take the cold air feed of as Andy F checked the ECU and the car didnt like it on full chat, so i will refit once i go for a remap i wont leave it so long next time for an update Edited February 15, 2012 by rig-pig
rig-pig Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 finished painting the header tank last night so put it back together today since its nice and sunny for a change
rig-pig Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 well after putting the car back together i got out for a blast today (on the track), the porting worked well spooling up a bit quicker and pulling better BUT working TOO well as the engine management light came on flat out in 5th gear, oh fek back down to trundling speed car felt ok, so got home and plugged in the lap top and yes we have fuel cut due to over boosting
